As part of Sexual Violence Prevention Month (SVAM), join us for an evening of discussion on creating a culture of consent in sports with former OHL and professional hockey player Brock McGillis.

What does it look like to build an equitable and safe sports community? With many stories coming to light about sexual violence and other harms experienced in sports communities, we are bringing folks together to discuss how to do better. After a talk by Brock McGillis, our panel of community experts will share their perspectives on sexual and gender-based violence in athletics.

Doors open at 5:30pm, with the event beginning at 6:00pm. Light refreshments will be provided.

Paid parking is available behind Lazaridis Hall off of Balsam Street. There is also a bus stop outside of Lazaridis Hall on University Ave accessible by the 12, 29, and 202 buses. A Wilfrid Laurier University campus map can be found here: https://map.concept3d.com/?id=638#!ct/6784,21459,6789,6779,6787,6781,6785,6783,13903,11451,67867?s/
